Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a body flange structure for an automobile, and in particular to a body flange structure that takes into consideration the positioning of a seaming welt.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 2, a side sill 1 that supports the side of an automobile floor panel (not specifically shown) has an upward flange 4 on the mating surface of an inner 2 and an outer 3. A seaming welt 5 that forms a seal for a side door (not shown) is positioned and fitted into this flange 4, and a lower end 5a of the seaming welt 5 is attached to the upper surface of the side sill 1 with a screw. It is designed to be attached while being held down by a fixed scarf plate 6.

Conventionally, as a positioning method for the end of this type of seaming welt 5, as shown in FIG.
A method has been adopted in which a notch 7 is inserted in advance and the end portion 5a of the seaming welt 5 is positioned using this V-notch 7 as a reference.

However, in the conventional method described above, the end portion 5a of the seaming welt 5 is simply positioned using the V-notch as a guide, and therefore, the position of the seaming welt 5 often shifts, and the seaming welt 5 There was a problem with incorrect installation.

[Purpose of the invention] The purpose of the invention is to provide an automobile body flange structure in which the end of a seaming welt can be accurately positioned and the positioning structure can be effectively used for other purposes. The goal is to provide the following.

[Structure of the invention] Therefore, the present invention provides a body flange structure for an automobile in which a seaming welt is positioned and attached to the body flange of an automobile. At least one of the inner or outer of the floor mat is bent into a convex shape in the side direction, and a clip for fixing the floor mat is fitted into the gap formed between the convex bent portion and the outer body flange, and seaming is performed. It is characterized in that the end of the welt is positioned by abutting against the end face of the convex bent portion.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, by butting the end of the seaming welt against the convex fold, the seaming welt can be correctly and easily positioned. This provides the advantage of being able to support the floor mat by engaging a clip for holding it down.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the upward flange 4 of the side sill 1 formed by the inner 2 and the outer 3 has an inner flange 4i facing inward at the location where the end 5a of the seaming welt 5 should be located. The convex bent portion 8 is formed by bending the convex portion 8 into a convex shape. By abutting the end portion 5a of the seaming welt 5 against the side wall of the convex bent portion 8, the seaming welt 5 can be correctly positioned.

Moreover, this convex bent portion 8 and the flange outer 4o
The hook portion 10a of the presser clip 10 of the floor mat 9 is fitted into the gap formed between the floor mat 9 and the presser clip 10, so that the presser clip 10 is locked.

That is, the convex bent portion 8 serves both of the roles of positioning the seaming welt 5 and locking the presser clip 10.

Incidentally, the end of the seaming welt 5 and the presser clip 10 are finally fixed by a scarf plate 6 shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, the inner flange 4i was formed with an inward convex bent portion, but the outer flange was formed with an outward convex bent portion, and a clip was fitted between it and the inner flange. A gap may be formed for this purpose.
